• Where are the shuttle bus pick-up points to return to the car park when I get back from my trip?

  In any case, don’t worry: when you book, we will send you an email with all the instructions so you won’t have any problems.

• I have a flight that leaves or arrives in the early hours of the morning. Does aparca&go operate 24 hours a day?

  Yes, we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Always remember that it’s important to let us know the arrival and return day and time during the booking process.

• Why do I have to enter the number of passengers when booking?

  We need to know how many of you there will be to calculate the number of shuttle buses we need at any given time and to be able to provide the fastest and most efficient transfer service. Entering more or less passengers doesn’t affect the price of the booking.

• What services are available for my car?

  Take advantage of the fact you are travelling and enjoy all kinds of maintenance services: your car’s official annual inspection, replacement of oils, fluids, lubricants, replacement of filters, brake pads, brake discs, battery replacement, wiper blade replacement, and we even get your ITV done without you having to worry. You can easily select them during the booking process on our website. If we don’t have the service you are looking for, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

• How and where do I drop-off and pick-up my car with the PREMIUM service?

  If you have booked the PREMIUM service, take your car directly to the departure terminal door at the time indicated on your booking and we will collect your vehicle. All the information and instructions you need will always be included in the booking that you receive by email.

• What are the parking hours?

  The parking lot is open from Monday to Sunday, open 24 hours a day. Every day of the year.

• How long does the shuttle bus take to get to the airport?

  It leaves every time a customer arrives at the stop. We have a fleet of 11 shuttle buses, so you won’t have to wait. The journey takes 5 minutes to the boarding area of the departure terminal. You get off the shuttle bus and you are already at the check-in desks. Unlike the official AENA car park, you don't have to go down flights of stairs, wait for lifts or cross endless passageways. However, we recommend you arrive at the car park in plenty of time to park calmly and catch the shuttle bus, which will be waiting for you.

• How do I get an invoice?

  Register as an aparca&go user and you will always have your invoices available in the user panel. You can also request your invoice when you leave the car park.

• I don’t know my return day, date or time. Can I book?

  We understand that sometimes you may not know your return date and also, plans can change. In order to provide you with the best possible service, we need to know your arrival date and time or your flight number, so that we can schedule your pick-up. If you don’t know, you can choose an approximate date and day and then change it when you have the definitive information. If you are an aparca&go registered customer you have the option to change the arrival date and time as many times as necessary, via our app or website.

• What happens to the price if I go over my return time?

  At the Barcelona - El Prat parking, we use a pricing system based on full 24-hour periods starting when your stay begins. After the first 24-hour period, and at the end of each additional one, a fee of €3 per hour will apply until the cost of the next full 24-hour period is matched. Once that cost is reached, the full-day rate will be applied.

  The final price of your stay will be calculated based on your actual check-in and check-out times, not the times originally booked. If there are changes to your actual entry or exit times, the total amount may differ from the amount shown in your reservation.
